A master of the piano and the violin, Victor Lin is doubly able to dazzle jazz-hungry audiences; Highlights in Jazz calls him “one of the foremost keepers of the jazz flame today.” But when Victor brings his vision for an evening of thematic improvisation, fireworks ensue. Tonight, Victor and a team of Stanford Jazz Workshop faculty interpret the songs that tell the stories of New York’s West Side, including the songs of Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story, and beyond. Victor’s previous Stanford Jazz Festival themed shows have all been audience favorites, including “1959,” which recreated the music of one of the most creative periods in jazz; “The Music of Dave Brubeck,” and “The Music of the Beatles.”
